Yesterday there was LOTS of rain and what Mom and Dad called a tornado. We all went to the bathroom together, but not to pee and poop. I was glad when I got to go back to my toys. Boba called from the SIU arena to see if we were ok.

Yesterday was a big day for me and Momma and Dad. I called Boba and Gigi early in the morning to tell them how many things I was doing. It was a lot!

Then Dad (I call him “Ricky” some) told my Momma he had a job offer with a Titan. I think that must be a very big job. Dad was very excited.

Then, when Dad came home from work, Tyson found him and Tyson bumped into the side of Dad’s truck. Dad picked Tyson up and carried him into the house and started crying - he was so happy - so I cried too. Tyson had been gone for one month and he looked hungry. Dad called Boba and Gigi to tell them. Boba and Gigi had kept Tyson for us and they loved him too. I am very glad Tyson came home. Today I am going with Boba and Gigi to another SIU basketball game, a women’s game this time. I hope I see a Saluki dog.

Boba and Gigi and I had fun at the SIU basketball game. I saw the big Saluki brown dog. He came to see me, but he was SO BIG that I stayed close to Boba and Gigi. I watched him wherever he went. I had dip and dots ice cream. After the game, I went out on the big floor of the arena, where other kids were playing. I liked watching the women shooting and throwing the balls.

We came back to Boba and Gigi’s house and ate supper before going to meet Momma at the church. I didn’t want to eat cooked carrots, but when Boba got me to eat one slice, I liked it and ate many more.

Boba and Gigi did not have electricity for 6 full days. There was a big ice storm and 2” of ice on their road. This was one of the biggest ice storms in years. Me and Momma and Daddy had electricity and heat. It was beautiful outside with the ice on all the trees.

We had more icy weather but me and Momma stayed inside. Momma had a birthday, her 28 year birthday. I could say happy birthday Momma.

Yesterday Boba and Gigi took me and Momma to Moe’s for dinner. I liked my tortilla and liked dipping it in the sour cream. Boba and Gigi brought pictures from the basketball game and the Saluki dog. They also brought a card which played music (Charlie Brown) when you opened it. It had pictures of the Veggie Tale people, Larry and Tomato, and pictures of Shrek and the donkey. We had a good time playing and having another good Momma birthday. Daddy has a new job and he likes it.

I stayed the night with Boba and Gigi Tuesday. I got to see Mocha and Latte, but I could say “Mocha” better than I could say “Latte.” But I could say “Saluki dog” best. I slept in bed with Boba and Gigi and Boba fixed me scrambled eggs for breakfast. It was snowing hard when Boba and Gigi took me back to Momma's house. I like to stay with Boba and Gigi because I can see horses and puppies and when it is warm, play outside, (I also talked to Uncle Seth while I was at Boba and Gigi’s).
